New Rockford Third Game New Rockford Bismarck By winning the last game, New Rockford “made: the first series a draw. Saturday's game stood 2 and 2 when ‘called in eight because of darkness and Sunday's bill witnessed by 1,200 fans was dropped to the Eddy county team by a score of 4 to 0. Bismarck’s team now goes to New Rockford to play a series of games at New Rockford and three: at Fes- senden. All games were filled with thrilling moments and both teams played the air-tight variety with ‘the exception of costly fumbles made by Bismarck in the last half of Sunday’s game. Four bad errors gave ‘New Rockford the opening. While Goldrick pitched in average form, his support was not as tight as that given Waswo, the New Rockford twirler. Bismarck hit him enough to win several,games but every fly ‘went into a..well so excel- lent was the-flelding of the opposion. The box score credits Bismarck with but one hit.

The Athletics are still in the trenches, Several seasons ago Connie Mack disrupted a marvelous machine, retaining only Strunk, McInnis, Bush and Schang, and began to build anew, The cagy one hinted at another pennant winner about 1917. But the boys are still in the trenches, Wally Schang, the snappy little catcher of the club, is Mac’s chief as- sistant in dragging the boys from thelr Last Place dugout. Schang is one of the most valuable players in baseball. He not only stars as one of the very best—if not the best—catcher in the American league, but he can perform most creditably at. any other position on the diamond. Wally has filled in everywhere—particularly specializing for Mack at third base and the outfield, while canny Connie was combing the bushes in search of capable cogs to fit in thpse positions, Mack would have fallen out of the league last year with- out New|, And now we find him, in addition t fourth tn “clean-up” position—a most Washington at Cleveland. ,Club— R.

D.. July 30.—Dunn Center holds two’ very heartbroken little boys. Norvald and Thorvald Nelson entered the state corn contest last spring; nursed their plants through the spring frosts and the early summer drouth, and had a fine stand of maize which promised to come within the money. Then some neighbors turned their cows loose to feed; they spied the corn, and the RAILROADS MUST GUARD BRIDGES: TROOPS REMOVED Met aul With Guile and Three Detachments on Duty Here —Valley City and Fargo Called in i SECOND BATTALION NOW MUSTERS 570 GOOD, MEN After stomorrow night railroads throughout the country must guard their own bridges, shops and other roperty. General orders to this ef- fect have been issued everywhere, and this morning Major Dana Wright, in command of Fort Lincoln, received in- ! structions to call in Aug. 1 the three detachments which have been guard- ing ‘Northern Pacific bridges at Bis- marck, Valley City and Fargo. The railroads are understood to have made | arrangements for the swearing in as leputies of civilian guards, who will ; assume the posts vacated by the fed- eral troops. Now Musters 570. The Second ‘battalion, stationed at Ft. Lincoln, and which the best train- ‘ed body of state troops in North Da-} kota, now misters 570 enlisted men, within 30 of the maximum war strength. The coniplement of com- missioned officers was completed yes- terday of Lieut. Fraine of Grafton, son of Col. John Hi Fraine of the First regiment. Lieutenant Fraine becomes third in command of Co. A, Bismarck, under Capt. J. Wi Murphy. The young officer, who had been stationed at Valley City, brought with him his bride of a few days, formerly Miss Gladys Newell of Minneapolis. Mr. Fraine and Miss Newell met at Grat- ton, where she taught in the public schools last year. Mrs. Fraine is Co. A’s second ro- mantic contribution to post life, only two weeks having passed since Cap- tain Jack Murphy returned to Fort Lincoln with his bride, formerly Miss Bess Owen of Bismarck. Cupid now hasyfilled the ranks of A company, First Lieut. A. H. Scharnowske hav- ing become a benedict some time since. Mrs. Goodwin Here. L. E. Goodwin, secretary of the post Y. M. ©. A., returned at noon today from Jamestown, bringing with him Mrs. Goodwin, who will add one more touch of feminine grace to officers’ row, where a really -delightful social life has been created. Ready to Go. ‘Well officered, well trained and well equipped, the boys of the Second. bat- talion, First infantry, veterans as com- pared with any other state troops, al- ready three months in federal serv- ice, bronzed: and hardened by long days and nights of camp and guard duty, are ready. They will have a de- cided advantage over any other unit of the North Dakota guard when the mobilization camp is reached, in that they already have much of the work which will be new to the others. It is expected that the Second battalion will render ‘invaluable service in the well earned fame of the old, orig- inal Fighting First.

Three Years Kept the Government Informed of Teutonic Intrigue and Treachery in This Country—Editor Tells, How It Was Done. New York.—How the Providence Journal met guile with guile, and spy with spy, how it had its man in Bern- storff’s own household and its two wireless stations “listening in” on the German Sayville “line” to Berlin—how, in fact, this one New England newspa- per for almost three years kept the United States government informed of the German-Austrian plots in America —has at last been revealed. John R. Rathom, in a speech made at the convention of the Canadian Press association: in Toronto, and re- ported in the Editor and Publisher from the Toronto Star, weaves a story of plot and counter-plot as remarkable as any that have come from the pen of E. Phillips Oppenheim, And Mr. Rath- om says that he has a safe full of doc- uments yet unused which he will pull out !f the situation ever again requires it. The story bristles with dramatic lit- tle sceneg almost unbelievable in hum- drum America, There 1s Bernstorft’s confidential secretary at the last mo- ment at Halifax revealing himself as an American, There is the pretty ste- nographer who sat on the packing box with Captain von Papen and made him write the evidence of his own guilt. And through it all runs the treil of the “green blubber,” which is Mr. Rath- om’s word for the strange “air holes” in German brains which make them overlook the most obvious things, We see the “green blubber” when Van Horne, the spy, dressed up like a work- man and then rode in a Pullman. Fol- lows, too, the incident of the foolish little street car fight that cost Doctor Albert his famous portfolio of treach- erous secrets, It’s a Great Story. It’s a great story, and greater still in its hints of what it might be. Here it is: “The Prayidence Journal,” begins the Editor and Publisher, “happened upon its course of exposure through i} having had for ten years before the war what other papers described as a ‘bug’ on wireless telegraphy. The pa- per had maintained two powerful wire- less plants at Point Judith and at Block Island, When war broke out | they had decided to ‘listen in’ on the messages crossing the Atlantic. For five months they kept record of these messages, and then they set out to find the codes and make revelations. Of the material they secured they used only a fractional part. “One of the newspaper's stenogra- phers was sent and secured an ap- pointment in the Austrian consulate in New York. Other of its workers were constantly engaged in shadowing Cap- tain Boy-Ed, Captain von Papen, for- mer Austrian Ambassador Dumba, the other German and Austrian officials. The two wireless plants unceasingly Ustened in, two shifts of operators at work day and night, on Sayville and Nantucket, the two wireless stations which were being used mostly by the | Germans to keep in touch with Berlin, from where they received instructions | for every detail of their plotting pol- fey. “For the United States government the Brooklyn navy yard had had in- structions to keep a close watch on ‘the Sayville and Nantucket stations, | but nothing suspicious was ever re- ported until Mr. Rathom took some of the messages which he had received from his operators to the state depart- ment. It was then learned that the navy yard operators had been in the pay of German agents in America, and had been told not to hear too much. Ingenious Codes Used. “The codes used by the Germans were of the most ingenious nature. Many of them pretended to be stock quotations, and some were even done up as funeral directions. In some cases, however, the codes showed evi- dence of the “green blubber,” referred to by the speaker, as on one occasion when Mr. Rathom was able to go to President Wilson and show him coples fleshy portion of Nick Berger's right | of eight separate messages sent by the | wireless plant within nine days, all relating that “little Emily” had died of such and such an illness, in a certain gart of a room, had been buried in a zertain cemetery beside such and such a previously deceased relative. In every one of these messages the illness, the part of the room, the name of the rela- tive, the cemetery, and so on, varied, and a clear code was detected in each of the messages. Green Blubber in Brain. “The first revelation which Mr. Rathom told illustrated the German capacity for blundering. It was the story of Werner Horne—the man who was responsible for the attempt to blow up the Vanceboro bridge. Horne had been detected as a German spy by one of the Journal reporters In New York. In an effort to disguise himself Horne allowed his beard to grow for three days, put on an old suit which he purchased for three dollars (even this detail was reported) and packed his personal effects in an old carpet bag. Having carried out these elaborate pre- cautions he took passage for the point where the “job” was to be done, on one of the finest and most luxurious trains in the United States. As is well known mow. be was caueht, When asked later by Mr. Rathom why he had been fool« ish enough to travel first-class in such shabby dress, Horne replied that he was a German officer and a gentleman and always traveled in the best style. Passport Fraud Outlined. “Another German scheme in which the Journal reporters itwitted the Teutons occurred soon after in New York also, A fraudulent passport bu- reau, operated by German officials, was discovered doing a land-office husiness in an office building on Broadway. The Journal—faking as a public account- ant on the one side and a manufacture ers’ agent on the other—sandwiched the passport forgers between. them. Every word that passed in this office was recorded by means of the instru- ments used for that purpose, and re- - ported to the Providence . Journal. When sufficient evidence was gathered| the United States secret service was notified and the three forgers were taken away. As soon as they had been’ removed three of the Journal’s em- ployees were allowed to take charge of: the office to receive the patrons. It was not long after that Von Papen and’ the German military attache at Tokyo came in with a list of names of men for whom they desired passports. The name at the top of the list was that of Werner Horne. ‘ Journal Man Bernetorff’s Secretary. | “‘A friend of mine,’ said Mr. Rath- om, ‘thinking himself very friendly, but in a thing which I objected to, went to Paris and while there bought, a lot of war relics; Among them was one of the first fron crosses that had been given by the German emperor to. a major of a German regiment, who died on the field and whose cross had' been taken from him and taken to Paris. It was sold to my friend, with statements as to whom it had belonged, and my friend sent it to me, I sent it to Bernstorff with a letter, saying that that mark of honorable distinction of a man who had donel/his!duty for his country belongs to ‘his ‘family. “I gave the name of the man and the name of the family, and begged him to take ,care of the cross so that it could be sent back after the war or at some time to the man’s people. Tears Note to Pleces. “The ambassador tore the note to pleces, threw the note in the face of the man I sent, and threw the cross on the floor, saying that, after having been defiled by the hands of American dogs, that cross was gf no use to anybody im Germany. I4new my man was telling the truth, because the man J had in there reported the incident to me ex- actly the way he- Md. Incidentally might say that the individual to whont I refer was in the German embassy, 17 months as one of the ambassador's secretaries, and the ambassador had no knowledge that he was not what he pretended to be until the Frederik VIIL left New York for Halifax, He sald to my man, “You had better get aboard or you will lose your boat,” and he re= plied: “I am safer on this side”. Mr. Bernstorff had no idea of that man’s identity. or whom he. was serving until he left New_York. And he wrote @ let- ter from Halifax to a friend in New York, which he attempted to get sent back, but which was intercepted, tell- ing some of his friends what he thought of this individual. When Huerta Met Boy-Ed. “‘The famous Huerta case, the ate tempt of the German government to embroil us ‘with Mexico, an attempt that the recent Zimmermann letter proved beyond any doubt to be true, was already proved by us a long time before. Early in the war my.man in the embassy—I say my man; you must pardon me for.that; I mean our man, because I am not the Providence Jour- nal—was ordered by Captain Boy-Hd to go to New York and get a auite of six quiet rooms in a hotel where Boy- Ed and his people could meet Huerta. Naturally enough, my man, being loyal, could do nothing else than select the rooms we selected for him, so he went to the Manhattan hotel and got a suite of rooms which he rigged up with the apparatus I spoke of ; and, to make as- surance doubly sure, I got another mam to act as chauffeur on the auto that brought Huerta. “«They had their conference, and a the conclusion of that conference every, word that was uttered—uttered through an interpreter, because Boy-Ed did not speak Spanish—was sent gown to the department of state the next morning. They had the entire facts before them and knew everything, and for several months later, when Boy-Ed and Bernstorff were frothing at the mouth and uttering denials, the state department had the very words that were uttered. Romance Among Spies. “‘another incident,’ he continued, ‘that is of great interest came when one of our valued and keenest stenog- raphers in our own office, a girl that came to us seven years ago from about twenty miles outside of Providence, was given a position In the office of the Austrian consul general in New, York city. She had never been in New, York before, but she was ahead of @ number of people in competition, and the man choosing the stenographer they wanted (a capable girl able tq do his work and to keep her mout shut) had been informed that she from Center after stopping a charge friend while the chums were out gumh leg when the boy was brought herel som a gun accidentally fired py a] ning for jack FADDItG J. sanesead
